This is an incredible theatricalization of mental health struggles. The tightly-written, nuanced solo show is compelling and engaging throughout and was an ideal form for exploring Miles' mind in a way that left questions unanswered but still felt satisfyingly comprehensive, empathetic, and sensitive. The titular extended metaphor of the string that Miles describes is so beautifully written/explored through dialogue. Zubel writes such amazing pieces about the intersection of mental health, recovery, and care, and this one is no exception! I'd so love to see it performed live. ”

A gripping play that draws you deeper and deeper into the mind of Miles Alloway, who may or may not be insane. Zubel’s descriptive and poetic language set against Mike’s fervor keeps the audience on the edge. Well done. ”

Fantastic one man show, full of intriguing twists and turns, beautiful and simple to stage. Saw a production of it at the University of Houston and was awed right along with the rest of the audience! Super compelling, and great to explore the world of reality vs. fiction. Cerebral and exciting this play is thrilling to see! I would definitely recommend it for a read! ”
